Another New England Journal of Medicine Sponsored Quiz

April 25, 2008


Your Thinking is Concrete and Random


You are naturally inquisitive and curious.
You’re excited by new ideas, and you are a true independent thinker.

You are interested in what is possible. You like the process of discovery.
You are often experimenting, challenging old ideas, and inventing new concepts.

Rules, restrictions, and limit don’t really work for you.
You have to do things your own way, and you can’t be bothered to explain yourself.

    I am completely opposite of you…concrete and sequential.

    Heidi:
    That is why we get along so well! People like me drive me crazy.

    Mom - are you out there? I know she is a blue like you, Heidi. MCS? I’m guessing on Purple.

    Your Thinking is Concrete and Sequential

    You are precise, orderly, and realistic.
    You tend to get to the point and get things done.

    Difficult, detailed work is easy for you. You take things step by step.
    Time limits aren’t a problem for you either. You work well with deadlines.

    What does drive you crazy is any sort of task that isn’t precisely laid out.
    You don’t like anything to be ambiguous. You prefer to deal with the facts at hand.

    Dad:
    I respectfully disagree. Your workshop is a mess. You eat sandwiches over the sink. You “roll with” whatever random thoughts I throw your way. You don’t like details. The only thing I agree with is that you are realistic. This is Mom’s answer. Mom and I can’t arrange flowers together because she needs engineering paper and a slide rule, and I just dump them in a glass.

    Take the test again. :)

    I’m abstract and random:

    You are flexible, adaptable, and creative.
    There’s many ways that you can learn - and you’re up for any of them.

    You relate well to other people, and you do well working in groups.

    You can help people communicate together and work with each other’s strengths.

    You don’t work well with people who are competitive or adversarial.

    You prefer to work toward a common goal… not toward conflicting goals.

    Um. I’m starting to think these are the peeps behind the Big Prizes. They know EVERYTHING. I’m random and abstract.

    See Mae, above.

    Seems to moi they’ve got your brain pretty well described.

    Leezer - I am Concrete & Sequential. Big surprise.

    I’m also Abstract and Random. And yeah, that about sums it up, I think. Especially the random part. I can go from writing a detailed article about Emotional Intelligence in the workplace to talking about Froot Loops to my co-worker in the space of milliseconds. (Is this a strength or a weakness? I might never know.)

    Leezer, I tagged you. But you don’t have to do it if you don’t want. I am now going to take the test.
